Drake in 2011
Drake is absolutely killing at the moment. Aside from his co-signing of The Weeknd who are at least to my mind the most exciting new act this year, in the past month he's dropped 4 fucking amazing tracks.
Dreams Money Can Buy (featuring a sample from the awesome BTSTU by Jai Paul, amazingly on point choice): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TSa4woeeVE
Marvin's Room (which is probably the most straight-talking confessional song that he's ever released): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwyjxsOYnys
"The girl that I would call, is happy with a good guy/ but I've been drinking so much, that I'ma call her anyway and say/ fuck that nigga that you love so bad/ I know you still think about the times we had/ I say fuck that nigga that you think you found/ and since you pick up I know he's not around... I'm just saying you could do better." Who else could write a song like this about drunk-dialing and get you on his side at the same time?
Obviously, the fucking anthem that is I'm On One (with DJ Khaled, Weezy and RAWWWS):

And then the new one Trust Issues, a slowed down remix of I'm On One - and there's also the awesome Weeknd remix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxEyR_gZKNA / http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVCV6hyv7ac
So basically, Drake is showing no signs of stopping after Thank Me Later, and is a complete hero. Er, thoughts?
